Property Dataset Context

The Variant Context is a context that holds the data for a set of properties.

Property Editors UIs require the Dataset Context to be present to work. This enables Property Editor UIs to have a generic relation with its ownership.

The Dataset Context holds a name and a set of properties. What makes a property can vary but an alias and a value are required.

Dataset Context Concerning Property Editors and Workspaces

A Dataset Context is the connection point between a Property Editor and a Workspace.

The hierarchy is as follows:

  • Workspace Context

    • Dataset Context

      • Property Editor UIs

A dataset context covers a set of properties, in some cases a workspace then needs to have multiple variants. An example of such is Document Workspace. Each variant has its own set of properties and a name.
